It's a little darker than I'd expected it to be this early in the evening, when I park my car in my cousin's apartment complex and get out. I look up at the second-story window of her apartment; there's a lamp on, but I can't tell if it's from her room or her roommate's. I shrug; it really doesn't matter either way.
There's a bit of a breeze to chill the skin on an otherwise warm night, and I wish I had worn a jacket. But I won't be staying very long; maybe not more than a minute.
I walk up to the door. I double-check that it's hers; it's been a while since I've been here. But sure enough, in true form, her instantly recognizable lawn gnome is squatting in the bush by the door. I knock six times, fairly sharply but not enough to bother her neighbors, and take a step back.
A minute goes by without a sound from inside the apartment. I conclude that she's not there, which makes perfect sense. She's got a boyfriend and a life, after all. Or maybe she's already asleep; she works like a mule and goes to bed early. Shrugging again, I pull out the envelope with the note I'd prepared, stick it in the middle of the Dostoyevsky novel I'd borrowed from her a month ago which was my whole reason for coming here, and set it down on the doormat where I hope she'll notice it.
As I'm stepping away the door opens just a crack and my cousin Jocelyn pokes her head out. "Nate?" she asks quietly.
"Hey, Jocelyn," I greet, surprised to see her. No light goes on, but she opens the door a little more and I see she's wearing a robe. She must have already gone to bed, and I quietly curse that I wasn't able to get out this way earlier in the evening.
"Hey. What're you doing here?"
"Returning
Crime and Punishment
before I leave town," I answer, pulling out the note since she won't need it anymore and handing the book to her.
She takes it. "That's right – you're leaving … Monday?"
"Wednesday, actually," I correct. The original plan had been for me to leave Saturday, but that had changed when the people in the firm in San Antonio I just got hired at offered me some relocation assistance if I could be out there a few days early. "I wasn't expecting to see you, and then you didn't answer the door" I add, patting the note in my pocket.
She nods. "Yeah. I was here. Matt's friends sometimes knock on the door at night, and if he's not here to get it, I'm sure as hell not gonna. But I looked out the window and saw it was you. And I needed to throw on the robe," she adds. "I'm kinda naked."
"Uh
huh
," I reply, a little disgusted and, oddly enough, a little aroused. Admittedly, I shouldn't be surprised that it was arousing; Jocelyn's in her mid-to-late-twenties – only a year and some change older than me – and keeps herself in pretty good shape. Plus, she's always been cute. But I'm a little disgusted because … well … this is my
cousin
we're talking about.
She stands on her toes – Jocelyn's about a foot shorter than I – and leans in to whisper conspiratorially, "Trevor was kind of …
using me
."
I think it's meant to be an explanation, but I didn't really want one. Jocelyn, by the way, is a submissive, or what you could call a sub if you prefer. I've known this for a while; Jocelyn and I have always been friends-close if not siblings-close, and so I've always tried to be supportive of her being what she is. Somebody's got to be.
Right now, all I can do is shake my head. "Jesus, you
are
a whore," I mutter under my breath, my sense of support for her momentarily gone. Being supportive doesn't necessarily mean you want to know the details – something Jocelyn hasn't always understood, to my occasional consternation.
"Yeah. I am," she answers, a blush coming to her freckled cheeks. She says it a little bit excitedly.
I pause for a moment. "Wait a minute," I start. "He was … you were doing whatever you do … and I knocked … and
you
answered the door … naked,
in a robe
… and not him?"
She nods. "He likes that. Especially if it's someone I'm related to."
"
Christ
" is all I can mutter. "You are such … my God …"
She blushes again, a little more red, and it hits me. "This is getting you wet, isn't it? From me – your kin – seeing you as a whore."
"Uh huh," Jocelyn answers quietly.
I shake my head, unable to say anything. I should really get going. I gave her back the book. I've said hello to her, and now I'll say goodbye. But then my inner devil – oh, yes, I have one; do I ever – takes a hold of me, and I say, "Let me feel."
Her eyes go a little wide. "You wanna touch my pussy?" She says it incredulously, not disgustedly. I think she should shut the door in my face, never talk to me again. But she just stands there, waiting for my answer.
I nod, trying to seem casual, wondering what the hell I'm getting myself into. "I feel like I ought to, what with me being the reason for it. Don't you agree?"
Jocelyn nods a little timidly, and opens her robe a little and spreads her legs slightly. There she is, standing in the doorway of her apartment, exposing a bald pussy to the world. I look around but don't see anybody going or coming. So I reach out and put one hand on it to find it already warm and wet enough to build an ark. I use my two outer fingers to spread apart her labia and keep them open, and slide my two middle fingers inside her pussy; Jocelyn closes her eyes and shivers, and then opens her mouth a little. I move my fingers in and out a little to see if she'll moan, and she obliges me with a soft, quietly erotic sound.
I use my thumb and rub her clitoris in a gentle circular motion. Jocelyn opens her mouth a little wider and trembles, clutching the door jamb for support. My inner devil eggs me on and I change direction, rubbing up and down and then across in a sort of cross pattern; I change my pattern back to a circle, and then just keep moving it to see what responses I get. She moans again, in a long, unbroken song of pleasure; she starts panting a little bit and her moan sounds a little bit like a puppy; she makes shorter, louder, rhythmic sounds that start to remind me of my lessons in wavelength and frequency from college.
My two fingers still moving back and forth inside her, the frequency of those last sounds begins to diminish and the wavelength increases as I move my thumb faster and more irregularly. Lost in the moment, I want her to orgasm for me. I experience this rush that comes with control, suddenly understanding what Trevor must feel; Jocelyn isn't touching herself or anything, leaving it up to me to decide how far her pleasure goes.
My fingers moving with a typist's speed and a surgeon's precision, or so I tell myself, I lean in and whisper, "Come."
Breathing hard, moaning, trembling like a leaf, she obliges me perfectly.
She stays standing, albeit shakily, by clutching the door jamb as I remove my hand from her wet pussy. She catches her breath, she flushes crimson and smiles at me. "Um … you can wipe that on my robe," she says quietly, gesturing to my sticky hand and holding out a baggy sleeve.
"Hey, Jocelyn? Who's at the door?" I hear a masculine voice coming from upstairs.
"It's just Nate," she calls back, her voice warbling a little. A moment later I hear footsteps, and then Trevor appears in the doorway wearing a t-shirt and boxers.
"Oh. Hey, Nate. How's it going, man?" I'd met Trevor before a few times. He seems like a pretty decent guy, and Jocelyn sure seems to love him. Until now, I'd never fully understood their relationship; I think I do a little more now.
"Hey, Trevor. It's … going …" I answer hesitantly. I looked at Jocelyn, who was standing in the doorway, smiling at me with freckled dimples and face still flushed, and looked at him. I knew what I had just done, but now the surrealism of the situation was catching up to me.
"Good to hear it." Trevor replies.
"He brought back my book," Jocelyn explains to him, looking up. Taller than me, Trevor stands over a foot taller than Jocelyn.
"That's great." Trevor looks down at Jocelyn, who can't stop smiling. "What's up?" He hesitates, glancing from me to her. "Did he touch you?" he asks surreptitiously.
Jocelyn nods enthusiastically, and Trevor looks perplexed. After a moment, his eyes widen and he looks at me, a little shocked, then back to her, and then at me again. "Aw, man. You made her come, didn't you?" He says it in a tone reminiscent of a friend whose favorite lamp I just broke, not of someone whose girlfriend has just been felt by her cousin.
Taken aback, I nod slowly. Jocelyn looks up at Trevor adoringly. "It was
